Public drop-in sessions - Lower Hutt Flood Hazard Maps
We're preparing flood hazard maps of the urban areas of Lower Hutt. Modelling of the Wainuiomata catchment is the first to be completed.
To finalise the maps, we're asking members of the community to share their experiences and observations of flooding in Wainuiomata.
Come along to one of our drop-in sessions this week at the Wainuiomata Intermediate School hall to share your experiences and check out the flood hazard maps.
These will be held on:
• Thursday 5 December from 6pm - 8pm
• Saturday 7 December from 2pm - 4pm
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

76.4% Yes

Art and Craft Market at Kai Tahi - 10 till 3 EVERY SUNDAY!
Hi neighbours
The new Porirua Community Art and Craft market at Kai Tahi in Porirua is now running EVERY Sunday. It's all indoors, and there's over 30 stalls each week.
Opens at 10am and closes 3pm, so you can also grab lunch at the many international food court options. Bring the kids, and your dog on a lead is welcome too!
Parking at the back (on harbour edge) is free - just stay clear of the Staff Only parks.
